Cyprus FM: No issue of recognition of pseudostate by US

Larnaca, Nov 9 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister George Iacovou has ruled out any possibility that there is a US plan to recognise the illegal state unilaterally declared in Cyprus' northern part occupied by Turkish troops since 1974.

At the same time, the Cypriot official said the recognition by the US of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) as ''Republic of Macedonia'', is not connected with press information that an American aircraft landed last week at the illegal airport ''Ercan'' at Tymbou situaterd in the Turkish-occupied areas.

British MPs discuss prospects for Cyprus solution

Nicosia, Nov 9 (CNA) -- British deputies, currently visiting Cyprus, are trying to understand why a UN-proposed solution plan failed to be accepted by the people of Cyprus, according to Labour MP John Maples, head of a five-member parliamentary delegation from Britain.

Speaking after a meeting with Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos, the British MP said the delegation from the House Foreign Affairs Committee would like to hear from the Cypriots how things can make headway towards a solution and will draw its conclusions on the situation once it hears a broad series of views.

Government: no protest to US with regard to illegal flight

Nicosia, Nov 9 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government believes that a commercial flight to an illegal airport in the island's Turkish occupied areas does not cause any problems in its ties with the US, as initial press reports have suggested.

Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said Nicosia will not be making any representations to Washington on the matter, nor does it see any purpose in this specific flight.
